Pokemon Day 2021 is extra special as it marks the franchise’s 25th anniversary. The celebration will feature lots of new merchandise, and one of these releases comes from Zavvi, who has partnered with The Pokemon Company to develop an exclusive limited-edition clothing line.
The Pokemon x Zavvi lineup starts with a collector’s box limited to just 2500 units. Each box contains a black hoodie, black embroidered socks, a white printed toiletry bag and a black cap with a Pokemon 25th anniversary Pikachu logo. There will also be a three-piece mini range with a hoodie, a white sweatshirt and a yellow t-shirt. However, the crown jewel of the collection is the high-top sneakers teased in the video below.
The Pokemon 25th Anniversary Sneakers feature a handcrafted black and white Pikachu design with a yellow logo on the tongue. All of these items can be ordered from today, February 27th, on the Zavvi UK website (shipped to the US). The release schedule is as follows:
- Pokemon Box Collection (12pm UK time / 7pm US EST)
- Pokemon Mini Collection (3:00 pm UK time / 10:00 am EST US)
- Pokemon Signature Sneakers (6pm UK time / 1pm EST US)
Please note that the prices for these items were not available at the time of writing. You may also want to check out Hot Topic’s Pokemon Day 25th Anniversary Collection.
In connection with that, the Pokemon Company and The Wand Company teamed up for a Die-Cast Poke Ball replica that’s made of metal and has a premium painted finish – but that’s not even the exciting part.
It also features proximity sensor technology, which makes the Poke Ball button light up when it detects movement. Additionally, pressing the button will change the light color of the Poke Ball or initiate a Pokemon-catching lighting sequence. Finally, each Poke Ball comes packed in a special presentation case, complete with a numbered hologram for authentication and multi-colored lights that illuminate when someone opens the display case. You can see it in action in the video above. Pre-orders for the Poke Ball replica are live here on Amazon for $ 99.99.
